Normally, the winner enters
the ECF stages as “N1” and the second-placed as “N2”, but as this result was
not known before the ECF quarter-final draw was made, Lancashire are down to
play in the ECF quarter-final and Yorkshire are down to go straight through
to the semi-finals, which is the reverse of how things would have been had
the result been known in time.
It is of course
hardly the fault of the ECF if the NCCU is too slow getting off the mark –
but then there was that small matter of Covid which was slowing things down!
